Fun Facts

Trivia

Someday, when you least expect it...
  • This email was previously teased in a tweet on February 27, 2012 that read "Someday, when you least expect it...". Attached was part of a script (which has since been changed heavily).
  • This is the first Strong Bad Email to be uploaded since videography on October 5, 2009, ending its longest hiatus to date (approximately five and a half years).
  • The Lappier is based on Strong Bad's third computer, the Lappy 486.
  • The YouTube version is titled "sbemail206 - April 1st".
  • The Floppy Disk Container reads "level 10", very likely a reference to Stinkoman 20X6.
  • The fake merchandise shown is worn by Mike Chapman.

Remarks

  • Before Strong Bad dusts off the Compé, its gray plug is clearly visible. However, after the Lappier is revealed, it becomes a beige plug.
  • Strong Bad's pants have no reflection when Marzipan is seen with The Cheat in her throat.

Goofs

  • When Coach Z appears as Renaldo, his arms are a paler shade of green than his body.

Inside References

  • The fake merchandise shown is based on the characters Trogdor and Rather Dashing.
  • Homestar wants a Trogdor backpack (which includes a beefy arm) so he can have "three arms".
  • Homestar mistakens his reflection for his "twin brother 'Chauncey'".
    • In hygiene, Homestar (as John) called a moth that lived in his mouth by this name.
  • When Homestar breaks the mirror, he gets shards of broken glass in his face, which previously occurred in licensed.
    • The mirror shown has an appropriately placed mustache on it.
  • Marzipan is standing behind a cinder block with a chalkboard reading "gluten-free concert for birds".
  • This email marks another instance of Strong Bad smiling.
  • The King of Town takes a bite from a mirror.
  • The upside-down turtle next to Strong Mad was previously seen getting Oatmeal dumped on it in new hands.
  • There is another mention of Jones.

Real-World References

  • Google Buzz was a social network launched in February 2010, and discontinued in December 2011 when it was replaced by Google+.
  • "Olde Time Jones Drug Filled Tonic" being marketed towards children is a reference to how children's medicines of the past contained ingredients that today would be questionable at best, including opium and cocaine.
